If you're thinking about selling your car at one of our motor auctions in
Belfast, there are a few things that you can do to help improve
your chances of a sale. Selling your car in a motor auction is much
quicker and less hassle than selling a car privately; it means that
you don't need to be on hand to arrange multiple viewings with
different potential purchasers or arrange to advertise your car for
sale.

Selling your car at a motor auction means that you already have
a captive audience, with many buyers in attendance at any one time
ready to make a purchase. But while motor auctions can provide a
much less stressful way to sell your vehicle, there are still a few
things that you can do to help encourage people to choose your car
over the competition.

Preparing Your Car For Sale At Our Motor Auctions In
Belfast

Although a motor auction means that you are handing over the
main selling aspects to somebody else, you still need to make sure
that you have prepared your car in such a way as to give you the
best chance of creating a good impression with buyers. The best way
of doing this is to ensure that your car looks clean - if you have
mud splatters all over the bodywork and rubbish scattered
throughout the inside of the car, potential purchasers may well
just move straight on to the next one. Investing just a small
amount of time making sure that your car is clean is well worth it
- you could even get somebody else to do it for you by using a
professional valeting service if you don't have the time to see to
it yourself.

It's also a good idea to do a little bit of homework, to help
you gauge how much you should be aiming to sell your car at auction
for. Have a look around at cars of the same make, with a similar
amount of miles on the clock and in a comparable condition. You
want to make sure that when you enter your car for sale at our
Belfast motor auctions, you are pitching at about the right price.
This will help you to set a realistic reserve price that won't put
potential buyers off and at the same time won't leave you out of
pocket by aiming too low.

Before you bring your vehicle along to our motor auctions in
Northern Ireland, you need to make sure that you have all of the
correct paperwork ready to submit when you enter your car into
auction. You need your current MOT document, any other receipts
that you may have for work undertaken on the vehicle, the car's
service history (if you have one) and the vehicle registration
document. You will also need the car's tax disc and all the keys
that you have.
